The credit class started this week and the Encore class started this morning. Community Learning Center Classes will start next Thursday!
This semester our show will be at the Little Theater and will take place on April 27th.
If you are needing shoes this semester, I really reccommend Amazon. They are offering lower prices for shoes than I can get with my teacher deal Discount Dance, plus Amazon's shipping is faster. Just make sure to read the reveiws to buy the correct size. Each manufacturer has slightly different reccomendations for sizing.

This year, in leiu of a Dance Revue we will be participating in a Holiday fund raising gala to support scholarships for Kids Kollege. The Gala will feature dancers from all over San Juan County! I'm excited to try something new and to support a good cause.
This Gala will be November 17th at 7:00 p.m. Tickets will be $10 for Adults $8 for Students and Seniors and $5 for children under 12 accompanied by an adult. Students will receive vouchers to pre-purchase two half-price tickets each. The dress rehearsal will be the same day at 2:00 pm. It will be a closed dress rehearsal.
There will be two tap pieces. All classes will participate in one number, with different sections featuring different classes. The remaining number is TBD based on interest and ability. All students will need to plan on wearing BLACK SLACKS for this performance (not jeans, leggings, or yoga pants.) This is a great staple piece to any wardrobe, so if you don't have black slacks, it's time to shop!
The group piece will feature Christmas Can Can from Straight No Chaser.
